This is going completely silly. What Sébastien is saying is bullshit. My $PATH does contain /bin and /usr/bin, and no core utilities are overridden. What made the build fail is just a "." at the *end* of $PATH. If Debian's build system is confused by that, it is really broken.

Developers should be aware of settings like LC_ALL=C (or C.UTF-8, because some utilities are broken in non-UTF8 locales) when needed (ideally the build system shouldn't be locale-sensitive). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
